eight reconnections ➱ un: h. inaba

Hi, Yogen.

It's closing in on the end of the year, and therefore graduation.
So I want to leave my mark on the world by giving you all a riddle.

No, you do not get a prize for solving it. Hope you've brushed up on your kanji!

If A is 秋, B is 冬, C is 春, then what is D?

[OOC: Given the multilingual nature of this joke--feel free to use Jisho to look up the kanji and its pronunciation. I'm so sorry in advance.]

What a funny little joke.

[dereban]

Can't always be the straight man, you know.

[antitoxin]

I learn so many interesting things about you, aside from kicking an individual's ass, you have a funny bone as well.

Was the former a joke too?

[ come on, tell us about the asses you'll kick on the network, put fear in the hearts of others. ]

[dereban]

Ass kicking is reserved for those who deserve it.

[...]

And aren't masochists about it. There are a bunch of weirdos here, after all.

It seems pretty straightforward. How is it a riddle?

[dereban]

Because there's a secret message for answering!

[antitoxin]

The first three weirdos that comes to mind? I'll have to be mindful of them.

[ not that he's going to beat their ass, that's reserved for inaba. ]

[waitingforplayer2]

[ She has to go away and ask some people for advice first. Sou's the one who finally breaks it to her. ]

Oh! It's a joke! Sorry, I didn't realize.

[ Her English is middling. ]

[dereban]

That's for me to know and for people to find out.

[dereban]

It's fine. Nobody expects jokes from me, anyway.

[waitingforplayer2]

I don't really know what to expect from you yet! We've only just met, after all.

What I've learned from this one is that you're very online. [ Sou taught her that one, too. ]

[dereban]

I suppose that's true.

But even so, people tend to make their own judgements based on first impressions. Well, it's true that I've used the internet quite a bit.

[waitingforplayer2]

There's plenty people won't tell you about right away. Sometimes those are the most important parts, too.

[dereban]

There's plenty of things that people won't tell you at all.

Although whether what's hidden is truly important depends on the person. But I didn't really post to talk about people and their psyche and all that crap.

[antitoxin]

I'm sorry, but isn't it difficult if they can't bring out their enjoyment the same way as you can?

It's unfair!

[dereban]

Nobody ever said life was fair.

Besides, I'm not going to put an active target on my back.

[antitoxin]

So you'll keep secrets on how to attract masochists to yourself...
Just kidding!

I'm sure it'd be the other way around, they'd want you to be the target at them.

[ like stepping on their back. ]

[dereban]

I don't want to attract masochists! I have a boyfriend!

[Who is also a masochist! But not the point!!!]

[antitoxin]

And you haven't introduced me!

[ inaba! how cruel! who is the lucky man!!! ]

[ inaba. ]

I wasted far too much time on this thing.

[dereban]

Come oooon, you don't have to be shy and not say the answer.

[dereban]

I can't introduce him. He's not here.

[antitoxin]

Tell me about him, you sound proud of that person.

[ ... ]

[taketori]

It's not that I'm shy. If I give up the answer, then that'll ruin it for everyone else.

[dereban]

There's nothing special about him.
He's just a stupid selfless idiot that like pro wrestling too much.
